SDX Honors Hunter At Special Luncheon

The country’s most respect*ed athletic director was honored by SCs professional journalism fraternity yesterday before 75 prominent guests at Rudi’s Restaurant.
Following short introductory speeches by some of the top southland sports dignitaries, Sigma Delta Chi President Dour Cameron presented
Willis O Hunter with a plaque honoring; him for his 37 years as boss man of Trojan athletic fortunes.
*‘I don't know what to say," the distinguished retiring gentleman told the group. “I sometimes wish I could ery. I feel it today. Oh. but that s a lot of corn, besides I don’t rate it.’’
•To Willis’
Hunter gave his thanks to Sigma Delta Chi ior the plaque presented him. It said: "To Willis O. Hunter, father of Trojan sports.”
"It's not me that makes our school what it is." he said. “It's the kids. The kids are what makes our universities great.”
Hunter gave his “sincere thanks' to all the people who attended and to all the people who said “such nice things” atwut him. “I cxpected this io be a small gathering with just a few people." he quipped. “You can imagine how surprised I am.”
Jess Hill former football coach and incoming director of athletics paid respect to his “boss" when he said in an introductory statement that “the background, heritage and traditions at SC could be laved at the feet of BUI Hunter.”
‘Still Around'
Don Clark. SC s n e w head coach, iecei\ed a huge round of applause when he assured the audience that Bill Hunter would still be around SC "a lot" next year.
“He’ll l>e able to give all of us in the athletic department much more advice when he isn't tied dowu with all of the duties of an athletic director," Clark said.
L.A. Times columnist Bra ven D>er. CBS sports director Gil Stratton and former SC representative to the NCAA Hugh Williott also spoke briefly in tribute to SCs athletic director.
‘Congratulations to Sigma Delta Chi.” Dyer said. “You couldn’t have done a nicer thing to a nicer guy.”
Wilbur Jones, Hunter’s counterpart at UCLA, also attended the luncheon. “I know of no better friend, or advisor, or competitor than Bill Hunter," he said. “Whenever he walks into a room, most evervone knows pnd holds great respect for him.”
“He has only one thing in his mind at all times" Jones said, "and that is what is good for the student athlete. He's a tough, a real tough, competitor."
And so the introductions went for SC's retiring director of athletics yesterday.
When Hunter moved to the SC campus in 1920, the Trojans started to develop strong teams, both on the local and national level. It vvas Hunter who first brought football coach Howard Jones to SC.

Hoover, who was born in 1903, started his career as a mining engineer in 1925. He w as a member of the research staff of the Harvard Business School in 1928-29, a communications engineer from 1929 to 1934 and a teaching fellow at Caltech in 1934-35.
